Blu’s Official 10th Anniversary Party

Blu is celebrating a decade of Milwaukee’s best views and creative cocktails. Located on the 23rd floor of downtown Milwaukee’s historic Pfister Hotel, the bar and lounge is commemorating its 10-year anniversary with a huge bash, new live music series, weekly drink specials and events and more.

From drink specials and live music, to raffle prizes, free appetizers, complimentary mini spa treatments and a midnight champagne toast, Blu’s official 10th anniversary party will start off the next decade with a bang. The party will be held on Sat., Oct. 9, 2010, from 4pm to bar close.

The anniversary party kicks off a 10-week live music series in Blu that runs Saturdays through December. Acts performing the night of the anniversary party include Greg Flattery, Kyle Feerik, Color Truth and Colin O’Brien. Kidd O’Shea from WMYX will be our emcee from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
